Federal court judge Saundra Armstrong dismissed the case as findings proved eight of the firms systems ranging from 3DS, DSi, DS and Game Boy Advance platforms, did not infringe a patent filed by products represented by Quintal Research Group.

“We are very pleased to have this case dismissed,” said Devon Pritchard, Nintendo of America’s general counsel and SVP of business affairs.

“The result in this case continues to prove that Nintendo will vigorously defend its innovations against patent lawsuits and will not pay to settle cases simply to avoid litigation.”

Pritchard went on to say the company supports current patent reform efforts which will less burden cases being brought against companies.

This isn’t the first time Nintendo has won a case against a “patent troll.” A suit filed in 2009 by Texas firm Wall Wireless LLC claimed Nintendo infringed on a wireless communication patent with its DS and DSi handheld consoles. The case was dismissed in 2014.

The patent holding firm claimed a patent issued on February 18, 2003 for “a computer providing multiple display capability where one display presents the current document and another display may show a true display of a previously opened document,” was infringed upon, particularly with Wii U.

http://www.vg247.com/2015/06/11/3ds-15-million-us-sales/#commentsThu, 11 Jun 2015 12:49:16 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=531754Nintendo 3DS has become the eighth Nintendo system to sell at least 15 million units in the United States, according to internal sales figures released by Nintendo today.

The system debuted in the region on March 27, 2011, and titles such as Super Mario 3D Land, Pokemon X, Pokemon Y, Mario Kart 7 and Super Smash Bros. have each sold over 2 million total units in the US on the 3DS system.

Through the first six months of 2015, sales of 3DS hardware increased by 50% year-over-year. Part of the uptick was attributed to New Nintendo 3DS XL which launched in February.

“While crossing 15 million units is certainly a significant milestone, we are equally excited about the new momentum we’ve created in 2015 thanks to new hardware and an unrivaled library of software,” said Scott Moffitt, NoA’s EVP of sales and marketing in a prepared statement.

“With more great games on the way and a hardware system for every type of gamer, 2015 is shaping up to be one of the stronger years yet for Nintendo 3DS in the United States.”

Since the Nintendo Entertainment System’s US debut in the fall of 1985, close to 270 million units of Nintendo hardware have been sold in the country. This includes approximately 145 million units of hand-held hardware and close to 125 million console units.

The project was in development back in 2006 before the firm worked on Silent Hill: Book of Memories.

According to the Twitch stream, the original idea was to have both perspectives shown in the game with the ability to zoom in for combat and zoom out for puzzles.

Game director Adam Tierney said the idea “ended up not really working, as the tech was problematic.”

“Ut was also just not feasible to support all assets in two different perspectives,” he said.

Seven different titles can be yours for $4.99 starting today, and all are compatible with Nintendo 2DS, which launches today.

The newly priced lineup includes:

Balloon Pop Remix

Chuck E. Cheese’s Arcade Room

Johnny Hotshot

Johnny Impossible

Johnny Kung Fu

Puzzler World XL

Retro Pocket

The service will cost $4.99 and year and will be compatible with future Pokémon games. The annual fee supports the app’s maintenance, and the app makes things easier as 3DS cannot “communicate directly” with DS systems.
